How to challenge an unconstitutional law in Pakistan

Question

If the government passes a law that violates fundamental rights (like freedom of movement), where and how can a citizen challenge the validity of that law?

Admin · Answer

You can file a petition under Article 199 in the High Court or under Article 184(3) in the Supreme Court (if of public importance). The courts have the power of Judicial Review and can declare any law void if it is inconsistent with the Fundamental Rights guaranteed under Chapter 1 of the Constitution.
